A hunter had to have 50 stitches to his face after the deer he was stalking charged him down while trying to escape.
Vincent Saubion, 36, had to be airlifted to hospital for surgery when a deer fleeing from his cross hairs ran into him during a hunting expedition in Lesperon, France.
The frightened 150 kilogramme (330-lb) deer tore a long, sweeping flap of skin all along Saubion’s cheek beneath his eye and across his nose.
Saubion, who is of Basque origin, told local media he felt ‘drunk’ after the impact, adding: ‘It actually took half my face off.’
